You’ve been sitting down studying for a couple hours and stood up a little too fast. You get light-headed, indicating that your blood pressure (BP) has dropped. However, your body corrects for this homeostatic imbalance in BP quickly, and you don’t pass out.  Your baroreceptors detect the change in BP and send sensory input to the integration center, which sends motor output to effectors.   Answer the following questions about how the baroreceptor reflex affects the BLOOD VESSELS to increase your BP: Be as specific as possible when answering the questions. *The neural center that oversees and controls changes in the diameter of the blood vessels is the center. This center sends signals (i.e. motor output) to the blood vessels. (Be specific). *Fibers from which branch of the autonomic nervous system innervate (i.e. send signals to) the blood vessels?  *Which tunic (layer) of the blood vessel wall serves as the effector? *What effect do the signals coming from the neural center have on the blood vessels?  *What major factor does this change that results in an increase in blood pressure?
